Lightweight protection you'll barely notice while riding

The 7iDP Sam Hill Lite knee pads were designed for riders who want dependable protection without the bulk often associated with traditional pads. The compression fit wraps securely around your leg, helping the pads stay in place even during demanding rides.

The extended sleeve sits higher on the thigh than many standard knee pads. This improves stability during pedalling and reduces the need for constant adjustments, allowing you to focus entirely on the trail ahead.

Ripstop Spandex combines flexibility, breathability and durability in one lightweight package. Whether you're tackling long climbs, all-day adventures or back-to-back laps in the bike park, the material helps maintain comfort without restricting movement.

Reinforced front panels increase abrasion resistance in key impact zones, providing additional confidence when the terrain becomes more challenging.

Why choose the 7iDP Sam Hill Lite?

• Low-profile design – lightweight construction makes them comfortable enough for full-day rides.
• Compression fit – helps keep the pads securely in place without excessive pressure.
• Extended sleeve construction – improves stability and reduces movement during pedalling.
• Ripstop Spandex fabric – delivers an effective balance of durability, flexibility and ventilation.
• Silicone grippers – provide extra support to minimise slipping on rough terrain.
• CE Level 1 certification – tested to meet recognised European safety standards.
• Packable design – the elastic loop allows the pads to be rolled up and stored easily in your backpack after the ride.
